What reading level is Early New York An Address book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It only remained New Orange, however, about a year, and few people remember that it ever held that name at all. The last of the Dutch gover- nors, Gov. Colve, surrendered the whole of the New Nether- lands on February 8, 1674, they having been permanently ceded to England by the Treaty of Westminster. The name of New York was thereupon resumed, the charter restored, and the first native-born mayor, a good Dutchman, Stephanus Van Cortlandt, was elected in 1677.
On the first day of Januar)', 18...98, we had the last of the im- portant changes, the expansion of the city into the Greater New York, and the restoration of the old name of the " great sweet nice" Borough of Manhattan.
" Old Things Are Best " ? Are they— who knows ? I am sure I don't. I may think so, but is not that thought pure prejudice ? Let us picture the old times and the old life. First look at the conformation of the island. The backbone just raised sufficiently above the level of the two noble rivers which washed its pebbly shores on the one side and the other ; the magnificent bay, a harbor fit for all the navies of the world, stretching away on the South to the limitless ocean beyond ; on the north, the funny little creek of Spuytden Duyvel, whose waters suggest its name just as Scotch whiskey suggests hot water and sugar ; the farms running down to these beautiful rivers where fish abounded so that Fishery Commissions were things beyond conception.
